Reinforcements came, not only from the police in the mountain city, but also from the army, sealing off an area with a radius of dozens of kilometers. Several search teams went into the mountains to search, but no news came back. Ning Tao had no hope that they would find Liang Keming and Lin Qinghua. The other party had planned all this, so how could they not prepare for the retreat in advance. It is not certain that Liang Keming and Lin Qinghua were already on a plane flying away from the Chinese border, or on an off-road vehicle driving towards the land border.
Was it the rebellious Liang Keming who held Lin Qinghua hostage, or was Lin Qinghua actively involved in all this
Ning Tao was confused, and he couldn't guess the reason for Liang Keming's rebellion.
After finishing the note, the sky was already darkening when Ning Tao walked out of the botanical garden. The sun was setting and it was about to get dark.
Ning Tao looked at the setting sun that was about to sink into the sky in the west, and sighed in his heart, "Is the world really going to change? Yin Molan said that no one in this world can recreate a magic weapon, but today I met a new type of magic weapon. Like that Magic weapon, I wonder what the older generation of cultivators would think when they see it?”
Jiang Hao came to Ning Tao's side. Her walking posture was still a bit awkward, but as far as the injury was concerned, she was already in good condition. She put on a new combat uniform, and she still looked heroic.
"What are you thinking about?" Jiang Hao asked softly.
Ning Tao looked away and smiled, "It's nothing. Does the wound still hurt?"
Jiang Hao looked at Ning Tao with hot eyes, "With a miracle doctor like you here, why should I feel pain?"
Ning Tao avoided her gaze and said, "As long as you're okay."
"There has been an order from above that this place will be closed. Liang Keming and Lin Qinghua are both listed as important missing persons. If the search team cannot find them, a task force will be set up to continue the search." Jiang Hao changed the subject.
Ning Tao said: "Is the Ancestor Search project closed?"
"All the information has been destroyed. Liang Keming and Lin Qinghua have disappeared. It can be considered closed. There may be plans to restart, but that is in the future. I don't think it will happen now." Jiang Hao paused. Then he said: "I have also received an order to return to Beidu tonight to explain everything that happened here."
Ning Tao was a little surprised, "So anxious?"
Jiang Hao nodded, his eyes full of expectation, "Don't you have anything to say to me?"
Ning Tao was stunned for a moment. He knew what she wanted to hear him say, but he couldn't. It's not like he doesn't know her goodness and her burning emotions. But when he thought about his identity as a natural middleman between good and evil and the owner of Tianwai Clinic, he felt endless resistance.
He is destined to punish all evil people, which means that he is the enemy of all evil people in the world. Not only will she not get the happiness she wants by following him, she will also become the target of those evil people. Also, in a sense, he was actually a criminal who had killed people. He executed Huaike Bing, and she was an agent. Wasn't he cheating on her by being with her? He can't do it.
A look of loss appeared in Jiang Hao's eyes, and sadness spread throughout her body.
Ning Tao said: "Have a nice trip and pay attention to safety."
Jiang Hao suddenly opened his arms and hugged Ning Tao, saying in his ear: "What are you afraid of?"
Ning Tao's heart was full of sorrow, but on his face he pretended to be cynical, "This world is so beautiful, but I haven't had enough fun. I don't want to fall in love so early."
Jiang Hao's body stiffened slightly, and the arm holding Ning Tao slowly loosened and let go.
Ning Tao didn't dare to look into her eyes and walked away, "I'm going back. No need to send me off. I called a car."
Jiang Hao suddenly reached out and slapped Ning Tao hard on the butt.
There was a crisp, loud snap.
Ning Tao looked at Jiang Hao in surprise. He opened his mouth and struggled to utter a sentence, "Why are you spanking me?"
"You've seen me, what's the point if I hit you?" Jiang Hao looked confident.
Ning Tao smiled bitterly, unable to refute.
Jiang Hao grinned, "Also, you said you haven't had enough fun yet, you said it as if you had played with someone before." This was heartbreaking.
Ning Tao, "..."
"You didn't even dare to cut my pants when you were treating me. You cared about my feelings so much, but do you really understand my heart? You may have some secrets that you can't tell me, and that's what you can't say. But it doesn't matter, I'll wait for you. That's all I have to say, go ahead." Jiang Hao said.
Ning Tao's lips moved, but in the end he just nodded, then turned and left.
Jiang Hao looked at Ning Tao's back until he couldn't see her anymore, then turned back to the botanical garden.
Ning Tao left the road, walked through a mountain forest, and came to the place where he drew the blood lock. He opened the blood lock and returned to Tianwai Clinic.
Everything is as usual in the Tianwai Clinic. The black and white aura lingers in the Cauldron of Good and Evil, and the white good aura is obviously stronger. He earned more than a hundred points of kindness and merit by treating those soldiers, but the price he paid was also huge. The high-quality primary prescription pills he had reserved last time were almost consumed, with only a few pills left.
The clinic was about to move, and he also faced a new problem, that is, he had to prepare to refine the primary prescription pill.
Paying Fan Huaying to buy is a simple and convenient way, but Ning Tao doesn't want to owe anyone a favor, and continuing like this is not an option. If he spends money to buy every time, where will he get so much money
"I have my own spiritual field. Why don't I go collect herbs and bring some medicinal seedlings to plant in the spiritual field?" The idea of collecting herbs suddenly came to Ning Tao's mind.
Ten minutes later, he came to the cave where Qing Zhui lived and called Qing Zhui to talk. Qing Zhui was even more happy and excited than him.
"I know there is a place that is best for collecting herbs." Qing Zhui said.
"Where?" Ning Tao was very anxious, "Tell me quickly."
Qing Zhui said: "Shennongjia has been a good place to collect herbs since ancient times. My sister used to go to Shennongjia to collect herbs for me."
Ning Tao said: "Then let's leave for Wushan now. After crossing Wushan, we will reach Shennongjia."
He was born and raised in Shancheng. Wushan is within the direct jurisdiction of Shancheng. It only takes a few hours by car and boat, so it is very close. If he sets off now, he will be able to reach Shennongjia early tomorrow morning. As long as he gets to Shennongjia and leaves the blood lock, it will be convenient for him to go back and forth to Shennongjia.
"Then wait for me, I'll go in and change clothes and then set off." Qing Zhui said.
Ning Tao said: "I will also go and prepare, and we will gather in front of the clinic."
"Okay." Qing Zhui turned around and entered the cave.
Ning Tao suddenly remembered something, "Qing Zhui, is the skin you took off last time still there?"
Qing Zhui smiled at Ning Tao, "I knew you would want it a long time ago. I have prepared it for you. I will give it to you when I come over later."
"Is it the White Snake Slough?" Ning Tao was a little worried that it wasn't the one he wanted.
Qing Zhui suddenly lifted up her blue dress, revealing a fair and delicate belly, and said, "Do you think my skin is blue? It's the same as my sister's."
What Ning Tao saw was not only her belly, but also her big white legs and triangular trousers, but he still had nothing to say.
Qing chased into the cave, and Ning Tao also returned to Huayuan Street.
There was a motorcycle parked on the deserted street, and there was a person sitting on the car, Yin Molan. He held his helmet in one hand and a portfolio in the other, looking calm and calm as he waited for someone.
Ning Tao walked over and said hello, "Senior Yin, can you give me a call?"
Yin Molan got off the motorcycle and handed the file bag in his hand to Ning Tao, "Some things are unclear on the phone, so I'd better hand them to you in person."
Ning Tao took the file bag and asked casually, "What is it?"
Yin Molan said: "Have you forgotten what you asked me to do for you? This file bag contains information about the Takeda father and son and that Crosher. Some secret information is difficult to get."
"Thank you, I'll look back and take a closer look." Ning Tao's eyes fell on Yin Molan's motorcycle, and his heart moved, "By the way, Senior Yin, how fast can your motorcycle go?"
Yin Molan said: "My motorcycle has been refined by me. Although it is not a magic weapon, it should be the fastest motorcycle in the world. The speed of 700 kilometers per hour is nothing. I have run 750 kilometers per hour. "
Ning Tao's jaw dropped to the ground in shock.
The speed of a civil airliner is only 900 kilometers per hour, but Yin Molan's motorcycle can reach a speed of 750 kilometers per hour. Wouldn't it be quick to catch up with the plane? The fastest motorcycle in the world is the Dodge Tomahawk, but it can only reach a speed of 600 kilometers per hour. His car is faster than the Dodge Tomahawk!
Yin Molan added: "However, considering the current road conditions, seven hundred kilometers is just a performance data. In fact, if you travel on the road, it will only be more than three hundred kilometers. By the way, why do you ask this?"
Ning Tao smiled and said, "Senior Yin, I want to go to Shennongjia to collect herbs. How about you send me there?"
"Is it the medicinal materials used to refine the Ancestor Pill?" Yin Molan asked.
Ning Tao said: "The main purpose is to collect medicinal materials for refining prescription pills, but if I encounter medicinal materials needed to refine Xunzu Dan, of course I will also collect them."
Yin Molan put the helmet on his head simply, "Then what are you waiting for? Get in the car, I can take you to Shennongjia in two hours."
Ning Tao said: "Wait for me a moment. I'll get my medicine box and herb-picking tools. Qing Zhui will also go."
Yin Molan suddenly frowned, "Brother Ning, I'm not talking about you. What does it mean for you to be with a snake demon? Do you know what snake nature is? It's lustful. Cultivation is not easy. You will destroy your Taoism and foundation. , the gain outweighs the loss.”
Ning Tao just smiled, said nothing, and returned to Tianwai Clinic to pack the things he needed to bring. As soon as he finished packing, Qing Zhui came.
When the warrior demon and the snake demon met, neither one gave the other a good look.
Ning Tao saw Qing Zhui but everything felt wrong. She said to change clothes. He thought she would change into clothes suitable for activities in the forest, but he did not expect that she would change into a set of tight bodybuilding clothes. The fabric was just like hers. Like skin for the second time, certain lines and contours appeared in front of his eyes clearly and hazily, making it uncomfortable to look at it more than once. What's even more outrageous is that she is also carrying a large LV bag. This outfit is like a ghost, not a human being!
Qing Zhui took out a small box from her large LV bag seriously and handed it to Ning Tao's hand, "Brother Ning, this is my snake slough, take it."
Ning Tao opened it and took a look. The snake slough had some damage, which was obviously related to her last injury. However, the color was not the same as Bai Jing's as she described. It was white with a bit of cyan. That's true. Her demonic form is that of a half-human, half-snake green snake. How could she shed a pure white snake slough? He was too lazy to care about it, thinking that it was the snake slough of a snake demon, which was 10,000 times more precious than the ordinary white snake slough. He said that it might not meet the requirements of the primary prescription elixir, just try it and you will know.
Ning Tao put the green snake that Qing Zhui gave him back into the clinic, then came out and locked the door before saying, "Qing Zhui, let's take Senior Yin's motorcycle to Shennongjia. His motorcycle is very fast."
"Okay, I'll sit behind you." Qing Zhui said.
Ning Tao nodded. With Qing Zhui dressed like this, he really didn't want her to sit in the middle. It's okay for him to be harassed a little, he's used to it anyway, but it's not a good thing to harass Yin Molan who is riding a bicycle.
Yin Molan snorted coldly, looking disgusted.
Qing Zhui curled his lips and said, "Stingy, I'll spit on your knife later and it'll be considered as fare."
When Ning Tao was worried that Yin Molan would be angry, Yin Molan said: "It's a deal, it's a deal."
Ning Tao shrugged, the world of monsters is so strange.
Yin Molan turned the motorcycle on and sat astride the rider's seat, "Get in, let's go."
Ning Tao climbed onto the motorcycle. As soon as he sat down, a hot body pressed against his back. It was so soft that there was no gap. In that moment, his whole body tensed up.
Qing Zhui put a pair of lotus-rooted arms around Ning Tao's waist, clasped them on his lower abdomen, and then said, "Pippi Yin, let's go."
The locomotive roared and shot out.
The three of them are all invulnerable, and safety has never been an issue that needs to be considered.
